...Berliners-a crowd ten times larger than the students had been able to assemble. They brought homemade placards, shouted encouragement to the U.S. and set fire to Communist flags. Some incensed demonstrators even assaulted a score of hapless hippies. "We won't let our free Berlin be trampled," Schütz told the crowd. "We fight back...
Alarmed by "the escalation of emotions," a group of prominent Berlin churchmen published an open letter to their fellow citizens, urging everyone to cool down. Their pleas are being ignored. Schütz's own Social Democratic Party is on the point of expelling its left wing, some of whose members took part in the student march. With widespread popular support, right-wing politicians of all parties have begun a campaign to ban the radical student organizations and expel their leaders from the city-an action that would only drive the leftists underground. Even more ominous, the extreme right...
...Communists' savage Viet Nam offensive, Lyndon Johnson's low-key performance was a cool effort to mask one of the most trying weeks of a crisis-ridden presidency. Amid all the tumult around him, Johnson still found time to chat amiably with West Berlin Mayor Klaus Schütze, make yet another plea for a 10% income tax surcharge, and present the Heart of the Year Award to Actress Patricia Neal, who suffered three near-fatal strokes three years...
Though he was not anxious to lose his protégé, Brandt could hardly object to Schütz's return to Berlin. Schütz quickly made it clear that he, has little faith in Albertz's plan to rebuild West Berlin prosperity by turning the city into a center for trade and cultural exchange between East and West.

The East Germans want West Berlin turned into a "Free City" without...
...Schütz also hopes to cool off the students at the Free University, which has become a haven for draft dodgers (West Berlin residents are exempt from West Germany's 18-month conscription) and police-baiting left-wingers who want peace with East Germany at any price. "Rowdies once and for all will be put in their place," he says. The students are likely to resent his toughness, but they can hardly challenge his credentials. He was, after all, one of the students who founded the Free University in 1948 as a protest against Communist domination...
